I finally quit hiking in my very rural isolated thick woods in Northern Wisconsin for two reasons, wolves live there, number one and on several occasions, I caught glimpses of quite large, what looked to be a gorilla like creature, following me, or while keeping it's distance and walking a 100 feet or so away from my side, in the thick dense woods, there were no cars around and the next nearest home was over two miles away, (the next nearest home after that was 5 or 6 miles away) they were elderly people who would hardly be capable of stalking me while hiking in a thick woods area.
